Callol Serrats has been salting anchovies since 1847—the oldest active company in the industry, run by a six-generation family—and their premium L'Escala Anchovies in Olive Oil epitomize this legacy. First, these anchovies are fished from the Costa Brava's waters, and then Callol Serrats chooses the very best for salting. Only the highest-quality fish, caught between April and September, make the cut. The tender, meaty anchovies are hand-filleted without mechanical intervention, then undergo a meticulous curing process, pressed and aged in barrels for up to six months before being packed in pure Spanish olive oil. This traditional method preserves their rich, briny flavor and tender texture.

Try them in Caesar dressing, on pizza or to add depth to sauces and stews; we find that the whole fillets dissolve beautifully into dishes. Or enjoy them straight from the jar, on toast with butter and radishes or in a classic bagna cauda—Callol Serrats' anchovies will pack an umami wallop into any dish.
